Vista - Fn Keys

Dave2916 · 04-19-2009

Hello,

I am using a Dell Studio 1555.

I am new to using laptops and have just discovered the Fn key options. However I do not need to press Fn + F (insert any number) to perform these actions. But instead I need to hold Fn + F (insert any number e.g. 4 to make a window close).

Basically it is the opposite way round to what it should be. I should be holding Fn to perform laptop functions not to perform Windows functions.

How do I fix this please?

Thanks in advance!

Dave.

Disable onboard numeric keypad by pressing Fn+<NumLk>. And now do the work i
hope it works fine now.

I don't have a num lock key on this keyboard

I used an external KB and tried turning num lock and scroll lock off and on etc, but nothing changed.

Problem still hasn't been fixed.
